from Part VI - Jewish Statehood on the Ground
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 December 2021
Upon Britain’s withdrawal from Palestine, a Jewish state was declared, and military forces from neighboring Arab states entered Palestine. In the Security Council, the Provisional Government of Israel charged aggression on the part of the Arab states and asked for Security Council action to stop it. The Arab states denied aggression, saying that they entered Palestine at the request of its population for the purpose of protecting that population from further acts of expulsion. Syria invoke the doctrine of humanitarian intervention as a rationale for the actions of the Arab state forces. The Provisional Government of Israel said that the aim of the Arab state intervention was the dismantling of Israel as a state. The Security Council took no action on the charge of aggression. The Security Council called for ceasefires.
